A tranquil beach serves as the backdrop for a young boy's contemplative stroll along the shore before settling down. As the beachgoers frolic in the waves and depart, they leave a trail of litter in their wake. Abruptly, the setting transitions to a hospital office where an elderly man, puffing on a cigar, imparts somber news about cancer, finances, and the notion of wealth remaining within the family to a younger, leaner individual. Returning to the beach, the boy rises, dusts off his spot, and heads homeward, leaving behind the transient scene of seaside serenity.
